Photos Used In This Blog

Many of the photos I use in this blog will be made using my smartphone and others with my DSLR camera. I hope you will not mind me posting with the smartphone since we can do it while we are on the move and from any location where we have phone service. I think the smartphone photos will be of lower quality so I hope you will understand.

Monday..Snow On the Way Back to Jackson

We had an unexpected snow on the way back to Jackson from Madison in Yellowstone. It was quite unnerving at times. We knew snow was forecast but not expected in the middle of the day. At first the snow was light but soon became heavy with big flakes. We drove in it for about an hour before we finally got out of it as we left Yellowstone. At one point, a vehicle was stuck cross-ways in the road and we had to stop on a hill. Fortunately, we were able to get our truck moving again without any trouble. The road was totally covered with snow. We were very thankful to get moving again. I really don't want to get in snow again anytime soon like we did today. The whole experience seemed hard to believe since it came so fast. It did make me pretty nervous at times especially since it was getting worse the farther we came and we had no idea if there would be snow all the way to Jackson. Thank goodness it did not extend that far.
We were going back to Gros Ventre campground tonight but we are afraid there will be snow tonight and we could not get to the medical center tomorrow. We plan to just stay in the overflow parking at the medical center tonight. That way, we will be there if there is snow, and getting the treatment is main priority now. The forecast is for colder temperatures tonight and tomorrow night. I will admit, it would be nice to have electric hookup for next two nights.
Wayne, I agree with your suggestion on keeping warm. Good idea.
